If you plan on preordering a Samsung Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Ultra today, you’ll be faced with a very important decision regarding your new phone’s color.

If you get an S24 at Amazon, Best Buy, or from your carrier, you’ll find four OK styles to choose from. The S24 and S24 Plus come in Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet, and Amber Yellow. Want an S24 Ultra? You get to choose from Titanium Violet, Yellow, Black, or Gray. They’re decent choices, and it’s nice to see some symmetry across all three phones.

However, as it turns out, Samsung has some secret colors you’ll only find on its website — and they’re the best ones you can get.

A refreshing green color

If you preorder any of the Galaxy S24 models directly from Samsung’s website, you’ll find three other exclusive colors you can’t get anywhere else. The first one is Jade Green/Titanium Green — depending on which S24 model you choose.

It’s a really pleasing, almost calming shade of mint green. It looks lovely, especially with the gray titanium border you get on the S24 Ultra variant.

Look at that blue!

Another exclusive color is called Sapphire Blue/Titanium Blue. It’s a pastel blue hue, and it looks similar to the Sky Blue color Samsung offered last year on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Similar to green, it manages to be a very chill color without looking too boring. And once again, I really like how it contrasts with the S24 Ultra’s titanium frame. It’s a great look.

Oh, so orange

Last, but certainly not least, the third exclusive color for the S24 series is Sandstone Orange/Titanium Orange. This is a deep, colorful orange hue, and I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen it on a phone like this.

There were rumors we’d see something similar for the iPhone 15, but that never came to fruition.

Don’t miss out on the S24’s best colors

Hiding exclusive smartphone colors on its website isn’t anything new for Samsung, but it’s always a good reminder to have around a new Galaxy launch. The standard Galaxy S24 colors aren’t bad by any means, but the Samsung-exclusive ones are considerably more eye-catching.

You won’t pay extra for the new colors, and Samsung’s website has some of the best preorder deals you’ll find, so you might as well start your shopping there.

Unhappy with One UI 7 animations? Samsung says they’re going to get better
The vertical app drawer in One UI 7.

Samsung Galaxy S24 users have had access to the One UI 7 beta for about a week now, and already they have noticed a few things that stand out. The One UI subreddit is filled with questions concerning stuttering and other animation problems. Thankfully, Samsung is aware of the problems and has issued a statement that they are working on a fix. The company responded to user concerns and said it promises to "provide a smoother and more dynamic transition in the future."

In situations like this, it's important to remember that this is exactly why beta releases exist. One UI 7 was usable enough but not quite perfect. By releasing it to a limited number of users early, Samsung can identify pain points like this one and work toward resolving them before the update becomes available for everyone.

Qi2 charging may come to the Galaxy S25, but not how we expected

Native support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard is currently limited to only a few handsets on the market, none of which are produced by Samsung. However, this could change in the coming weeks with the anticipated arrival of the Galaxy S25 series — though perhaps not in the expected way.

According to a new report from Finnish-based Suomimobiili, the Galaxy S25 series handsets will support Qi2 wireless charging, but only with a new magnet case that Samsung is reportedly producing. This would mark the first time the company has created a case like this for its flagship phones.

When you buy a smartphone from Apple, Samsung, Google, or OnePlus, there’s always going to be the temptation to get a matching set of wireless earbuds to go along with it, as each manufacturer makes its own pair. But what exactly does it mean when you stay loyal to the brand, and is it worth it?

I’ve used the latest phones and earbuds from each manufacturer to find out. Here's what you need to know — and which pair is the best.
What have I tested?
